One is readily available in paperback from Amazon, and the other is available on Kindle, but less available in print.

Certainly doesn't seem that either of his books is being suppressed or anything.

By the way, Alexandria Vera's 10-year prison sentence (eligible for parole after five years) is not a Men's Rights win!

The boy had his partner taken away from him, his family taken away from him, and now he is in foster care.

Can everyone stop cheering for a moment and think of the horrible situation that was forced on the 13-year-old student as a result of the court system and Child Protective Services?

Kids do much better, even in an abusive family, than in foster care.

"Foster kids are 7-8 times more likely to be abused than normal children, nearly half will end up homeless, they are 3 times more likely to be put on psychotropic drugs, seven times more likely to develop an eating disorder, more likely to have PTSD than veterans of war and less likely to recover from that PTSD, more likely to become pregnant as a teenager, 20% more likely to be arrested, and are 6 times more likely to die than if they stayed in an abusive household". (Carlos Morales, former Child Protective Services investigator, author of Legally Kidnapped: The Case Against Child Protective Services)

Because it's much deeper than they'd like you to think. The Saudis Prince is a very good friend of the Bush family. If you follow the money high enough, you will find out the masterminds.

You're right. I'm sure the statistics provided on that website by the author of [this] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B2SSX5I?ie=UTF8&tag=roadtothemidd-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00B2SSX5I3) - many of which have the citation "guesstimated"- are far more reliable.

/u/biosbattery loses points for not reading the footnote and seeing that the cited figure only applies to federal spending, but that doesn't mean you should counter it with even dodgier figures!

You know what? I've actually built a private road.

Less ill-informed talk, more reading.

To people ridiculing Truthers: Did you check out their points? Read any books on subject? I dont think so.. Beacause you would not be laughing at all.
Check out 1.) Operation Northwoods 2) search on youtube "wtc7 collapse", then explain how fires brought down WTC 7 (it was not hit by a plane) 3) Read some books - eg. by David Griffin, or Philip Marshall

Small sample:
EXCERPT from Marshall, Philip The Big Bamboozle: 9/11 and the War on Terror:

(...)After submitting an 800-page report to the American public, moderate U.S. Senator Bob Graham of Florida, the co-chairman of the 9/11 Inquiry, said, “There was a ‘direct line’ between the terrorists and the government of Saudi Arabia. The Saudi government had provided logistical and financial support to at least two of the 9/11 hijackers while they lived in Southern California.” [1] One might think a statement of this magnitude would draw significant media attention. It didn’t. For some odd reason, the American media wasn’t interested in the Saudi government being behind the 9/11 attack.

ONE MORE EXCERPT:
(...) Later, we see similar officials come forward including the 9/11 Commission’s own General Counselor John Farmer, who also wrote and published a book in 2008 entitled The Ground Truth. Farmer wrote, “What government and military officials told Congress, the 9/11 Commission [on which he served], the media, and the public, was almost entirely, and inexplicably, untrue.” Additionally, we see that the two co-chairmen of the 9/11 Commission, the top two, also had more allegations of conflicts of interests and wrote yet another book entitled Without Precedent. They made an astonishing allegation: “The 9/11 Commission was designed to fail.” [3] So, for those of us keeping score, there have been two official federal investigations into the September 11th attack and three out of four of the co-chairmen have written and published books to tell us that something is seriously wrong with the Bush Administration’s version of events. The more we focus on 9/11, the more we see that anyone who has truly investigated it has tried to speak up. But like Graham and Farmer, Thomas Kean and Lee Hamilton, Steve Pieczenik’s interview was simply ignored by the commercial, corporate media. In today’s America, if any revelation is not reported in the six top media conglomerates, it simply never happened (...)
